[On a
much larger scale, the Tall Ship® Friendship is a full-scale
reproduction of a 342-ton merchant vessel built some two hundred years
before the replica. (Come to know more about the 171-foot three-masted
Salem East Indiaman at this link
without and visit the National
Parks Service Web site offering more insight about the crafting
the vessel.) After his "ship came in" (metaphorically speaking)
~ Dexter himself owned at least two merchant ships. The Mehitabel was
a 171-ton Brigantine built in 1790 and the 153-ton vessel "The
Congress" was afloat by the year 1792 ~ thus their size was about
half that the Friendship.] |
